Nicely framed, Senator! :applause: That's the five-letter word Repugs hate the most.

McCaskill: Russia war would mean draft

From the AP:

Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., said Palin's suggestion of war with Russia "sent chills down my spine."

"I'm not sure that Gov. Palin understands that right now, if that were to occur, we would have to institute a massive draft," McCaskill said.

To be fair to Palin, all she was doing was stating the consequence of the NATO treaty, should Georgia be admitted.

But one of the rules of talking about NATO enlargement -- followed by McCain and Obama -- has generally been not explicitly discussing war with Russia, and indeed sometimes insisting to the Russians (a bit implausibly, perhaps) that it's not about them.

1. Okay, now if every other Democrat would just say that, we might start waking up America.

We can't expect to win by doing the same things we did last time - when we lost.

3. War with Russia would mean a LOT more than just that

Russia could actually hit us here. They could easily park some of their newer subs off our coast, and lob cruise missiles at various American cities.

And this doesn't even take into account the nuclear possibilities.

4. forget draft it mean nuclear holocaust

Young adults aren't a commodity to churn and burn in a machine.

9. Senator McCaskill is wrong, War With Russia would mean:

10. Annihilation, followed by a Draft of the surviving few.

She was half right.

[SidneyCarton]

12. There wouldn't be anyone left to draft

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

11. That's really stupid, unless she's referring to the corpse collecting corps

[lumberjack_jeff]

13. It would mean a draft between the cracks in the cave walls.

The remaining humans wouldn't have enough society to worry about things like conscription.

[ChimpersMcSmirkers]

14. I've been wondering where Claire's been. Good to see her back.

[eshfemme]

16. Yes, someone finally put the draft back on the table as an issue.

Seriously, with how hard up McCain is for starting wars, we'd need to institute a draft just to be able to put boots on the ground for them. McCain seriously wants to be a war president, moreso than Bush. Just scary.

[Coexist]

18. kick it!!!

[DangerousRhythm]

19. Draft: I have a Youtube ad scripted for this.

I am still working on it (I got sidetracked from last I posted about it) but it is solid, I have video for every quote and my music is done. All I need now is to arrange the video clips and figure out how to do some text overlays and transitions for it and I'm gold.

I passed it around a few friends and they all said it was great, devastating, WOW, etc... so I have some hope I can get it done right. Now, if only this hurricane would go away. :)

I thought about passing my script along to a 527... may be an effective way to get the idea on TV?

21. Do we really want McCaskill on our side? A "draft"?

How surreal does the stupidity have to get? Nuclear war, no problem -- but ohmyGod a DRAFT?

[kurth_]

22. War With Russia will not be conventional

it will certainly involve nuclear devices.
